Sitting increases internal pressure on your lower spinal discs by roughly 30% to nearly 50% more than standing, acting as a "silent killer" of disc health through several compounding mechanisms -

Why Sitting Compresses and Damages Discs:
• Higher Disc Pressure: Gravity and body weight concentrate heavy loads directly onto the lumbar (lower back) discs when you sit, especially if you lean forward or slouch.
• Loss of Hydration and Flexibility: Spinal discs act like gel-filled shock absorbers. Constant sitting squeezes out fluid, reducing their height, shock-absorption capacity, and flexibility over time.
• Starved of Nutrients: Discs have no direct blood supply and rely on physical movement (compression and release) like a sponge to draw in vital nutrients and oxygen from surrounding circulation. Staying still starves them of what they need to repair.
• Weakened Core and Back Muscles: Prolonged sitting turns off your postural muscles. Without strong core and back muscles to share the load, the vertebrae and discs experience unbuffered mechanical stress.
• Pelvic Imbalance (Tight Hip Flexors): Sitting keeps your hip flexors in a shortened position. Over time, they tighten and pull your pelvis forward, flattening or distorting your natural lumbar curve.
• Silent Progression: Because discs lack dense pain fibers on their inner portions, micro-tears, dehydration, and structural flattening happen silently for years—often showing no symptoms until a sudden movement triggers a bulging disc, herniation, or pinched nerve like sciatica.

Spinal decompression and how it could help you -
Thanks to the concerted efforts of a team of top physicians and medical engineers, Spinal Decompression was developed to treat lower back pain and sciatica caused by herniated or deteriorated discs. Spinal Decompression significantly reduces back pain for many patients and helps most return to more active lifestyles.

But does it really work?
Spinal Decompression has been proven effective in relieving the pain associated with bulging and herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and even relapse or failed back surgery. Since its release, clinical studies have revealed a fantastic success rate in treating lumbar disc-related problems.

How does it work?
It uses state-of-the-art technology to apply a distraction force to relieve nerve compression often associated with low back pain and sciatica.
Please contact our office today to schedule an initial consultation with our Doctor to see if you are a candidate for care. After carefully studying your case history and exam findings, he will explain his recommended action plan. After answering any questions about the recommended plan, you may begin your care with Spinal Decompression.

Say NO To Back Surgery!
What the Research Shows:
• Lower surgery rates: A prominent study published in the journal Spine found that workers who first visited a surgeon for a back injury had a 42% chance of getting lumbar surgery, whereas those who first visited a chiropractor had only a 1.5% chance.

• Natural healing for discs: Many common back problems—such as herniated or slipped discs—can shrink or reabsorb naturally over time. Chiropractic care and conservative treatments help control pain and keep you mobile while that healing happens.

• Conservative first step: Starting with non-invasive care lets your body try to heal before you risk the high costs, long recovery times, and potential complications of an operation.

If you are experiencing back pain, you might consider scheduling a consultation with Dr. Troy. With over 35 years of experience treating car accident trauma, he can help put your mind (and body) at ease.
